Short Answer

Expert verified

It is shown that∂vy∂z+∂vy∂y=∂vy∂y+∂vy∂z. The divergence transforms as a scalar under rotation, in two dimensions as∂vy∂z+∂vy∂y=∂vy∂y+∂vy∂z

Step by step solution

01

Define the given information.

It is to be shown that the divergence transforms as a scalar under rotation, in two dimensions as∂vy∂z+∂vy∂y=∂vy∂y+∂vy∂z

02

Define a vector.

The vector point function is a function which possess both magnitude and direction, the mathematical representation of a vector point function is as follows:

a=axi+ayj+azk

Here,ax,ay,xzare the components of vector functionain x,y,zplane respectively.

03

Set up relation between two set of dimensions.

Write the value of the yand z, as

y=ycosϕ+zsinϕ.......(1)z=-ysinϕ+zcosϕ.......(2)

Multiply on both side of equation (1) as

zcosϕ=ycos2ϕ+zsinϕcosϕ.........(3)

Multiplysin∅on both side of equation (2) as

role="math" localid="1655961512676" zsinϕ=-ysin2ϕ+zcosϕsinϕ.........(4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

y=ycosϕ-zsinϕ

Differentiate above equation with respect to y and z as

∂y∂y=cosϕ

∂y∂z=-sinϕ

Multiply on both side of equation (1) as

ysinϕ=ycossinϕ+z2sinϕ.....(5)

Multiplycosϕon both side of equation (2) as

zcosϕ=-ysinϕcosϕ+zcosϕ.....(6)

Add equation (5) and equation (6)

z=ysinϕ+zcosϕ

Differentiate above equation with respect to y and z as

∂z∂y=sinϕ∂z∂z=cosϕ

04

Prove the required equation.

The position of x,y,zaxis with respect to x,y,zcan be represented via matrix as

vyvzcosϕsinϕ-sinϕcosϕvyvz

Expand above matrix as

vyvz=vycosϕ+vzsinϕ=-vysinϕ+vzcosϕ

Partially differentiatevywith respect to ∂yusing chain rule, as

role="math" localid="1655964470265" ∂vy∂y=∂∂y(vycosϕ+vzsinϕ)=∂vy∂ycosϕ+∂vz∂ysinϕ=∂vy∂y∂y∂y+∂vy∂y∂z∂ycosϕ+∂vz∂y∂y∂y+∂vz∂z∂z∂ysinϕ

Substitute sinϕfor role="math" localid="1655965188625" ∂z∂y,cosϕfor ∂z∂z,cosϕfor ∂y∂y and -sinϕ for role="math" localid="1655965364288" ∂y∂z int above expression.

∂vy∂y=∂vy∂ycosϕ+∂vy∂zsinϕcosϕ+∂vz∂ycosϕ+∂vz∂zsinϕsinϕ

Partially differentiate vz with resect to ∂z,using chain rule, as

role="math" localid="1655964873819" ∂vy∂z=∂vy∂y(-vysinϕ+vzcosϕ)=∂vy∂zsinϕ+∂vz∂zcosϕ=∂vy∂y∂y∂yz+∂vy∂z∂z∂zsinϕ+∂vz∂y∂y∂z+∂vz∂z∂z∂zcosϕ

Substitute sinϕfor ∂z∂y,cosϕfor ∂z∂z,cosϕfor ∂y∂y,cosϕand -sinϕfor∂y∂z for into above expression.

∂vy∂z=-∂vy∂y(-sinϕ)+∂vy∂zcosϕsinϕ+∂vz∂y(-sinϕ)+∂vz∂zcosϕcosϕ

Add the expression for∂vy∂zand∂vy∂yas,∂vy∂z+∂vy∂y

Substitute role="math" localid="1655964045847" -∂vy∂y(-sinϕ)+∂vy∂zcosϕsinϕ+∂vz∂y(-sinϕ)+∂vz∂zcosϕcosϕ for ∂vy∂z , and∂vy∂ycosϕ+∂vy∂zsinϕcosϕ+∂vz∂y(cosϕ)+∂vz∂zsinϕsinϕ for ∂vy∂yinto ∂vy∂z+∂vy∂y

role="math" localid="1655963767096" ∂vy∂z+∂vy∂y=∂vy∂y(-sinϕ)+∂vy∂zcosϕsinϕ+∂vz∂y(-sinϕ)+∂vz∂zcosϕcosϕ+∂vy∂ycosϕ+∂vy∂zsinϕcosϕ+∂vz∂y(cosϕ)+∂vz∂zsinϕsinϕ=∂vy∂y(cos2ϕ+sin2ϕ)+∂vy∂zcos2ϕ+sin2ϕ=∂vy∂y(1)+∂vy∂z(1)=∂vy∂y+∂vy∂z

It is obtained that ∂vy∂z+∂vy∂y=∂vy∂y+∂vy∂z.

Thus, the divergence transforms as a scalar under rotation, in two dimensions as ∂vy∂z+∂vy∂y=∂vy∂y+∂vy∂z
